Studies for the Transfiguration 

"Studies for the Transfiguration" is a drawing by the Italian High Renaissance painter Raphael, created sometime during his lifetime (1483-1520). This drawing is a preparatory study for Raphael's famous fresco of the same name, which depicts the moment when Jesus is transfigured on Mount Tabor. The drawing is executed in red chalk and features studies of the heads and hands of the figures in the fresco. The detail and expressiveness of the drawing demonstrate Raphael's mastery of form and anatomy, showcasing the careful planning and execution of his later works.
